The clear embossed diagonal lines were created with the Impression Obsession Diagonal Lines background stamp. I cut and inked strips of GKD 6x6 patterned papers and affixed them on the opposite angle. The hello die cut is from Mama Elephant.Mary

The Tatty Twinkle images were coloured and cut out before attaching them to a background created from my stash of papers.Vania

I chose some lovely My Mind's Eye striped papers from my stash to compliment the stamped and embossed flower.Bec

My lovely stripes are from Bo Bunny and older range - Back to Basics. I fussy cut out the banners and frame from these papers as well. I popped up the green balloon to give it all a bit of dimension.Carole

I picked this card frame from Crafter's Companion Sugar and Spice CD, and teamed it with two of the co-ordinating striped papers!!

I've been playing with Serif a lot lately - my card this time was composed using Craft Artist 2, but elements of it were cut out and layered physically. The butterflies were a memory box die and buttons were from my stash.SueThere are all sorts of stripes in here, some obvious, some not... the papers are from MME, which I have used with the stripe going top to bottom and the corrugated card where the stripe goes horizontally. Love the pop of red against the white and neutral colour scheme!
